Maddox agreed to postpone the trial Monday after Public Defender Chris Scalzo said that an expert needs more time to review the evidence on Sims' computer.

According to an arrest warrant, the photos showing minors engaged in sexual activity were found on Sims' computer in Williamston.

Under South Carolina law, third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison per offense.

Besides the allegations involving child pornography that will be addressed at next month's trial, prosecutors have charged Sims with five other offenses, court records show. They include incest, exposure of private parts in a lewd and lascivious manner, disseminating obscene material to a person under 18 years of age and two counts of attempting or committing a lewd act on child under 16 years of age.

Sims is accused of committing these crimes between 2002 and 2008 at a home in Belton, according to arrest warrants.

The Anderson County Sheriff's Office arrested Sims on March 25, 2010, court records show. He was held at the county jail for 209 days before being released on $46,000 bail, Assistant Solicitor Kristen Reeves said during Monday's hearing.
